Khao Khanap Nam
Regarded as the symbol of Krabi, Khao Khanap Nam are two mountains that are roughly 100 meters tall, separated by Maenam Krabi and located at the entrance to Krabi city. Khao Khanap Nam has beautiful caves with amazing stalactites and stalagmites worth exploring. In addition to natural attractions, a large number of human skeletons have been found here. It is theorized that they are the remains of people who came and established a home at Kanab Nam, but were cut off by an inundation and quickly perished. The mountains can be reached by taking a 15-minute long tail boat ride from Chao Fa Pier. For visitors interested in a more extensive excursion, it is possible to tent a boat can be rented at 300 baht per trip to visit Khao Khanap Nam, mangrove forests and Ko Klang fishing village.
Noppharat Thara Beach
Located 6 kilometers from Ao Nang is a famous 3-kilometer long white sandy beach lined with dense casuarinas and coconut groves. The beach, paved with tiny seashells, was formerly called "Hat Khlong Haeng", which means dried canal beach by locals, because the canal dries up during low tide and the area turns into a long beach. Situated 18 kilometers north-west of Krabi, Hat Noppharat Thara is in fact part of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and is the location of the Park headquarters. This Park covers a large area both onshore and offshore and. Reservations for accommodations on the beach should be made in advance at the Forestry Department in Bangkok, contact tel. (02) 5797223, 5795734, or at Hat Noppharat Thara National Park, P.O. Box 23, Amphoe Mueang, Krabi 81000, tel. (075) 6347436.
Ao Nang
Ao Nang is located approximately 6 kilometers from Hat Noppharat Thara and 20 kilometers from the town of Krabi. A large bay with scenic beaches and 83 small islands, Ao Nang has several famous beaches which include East Rai Le, West Rai Le and Tham Phra Nang (cave) which stretches to the foot of a prominent limestone range. A boat from Ao Nang Village can be hired for sightseeing excursions around Ao Nang, Hat Tham Phra Nang and Hat Nam Mao, all of which are only accessible by foot. Other offshore isles such as Ko Poda, Ko Kai, Ko Mo and Ko Thap, are popular destinations that can be reached by a rented boat from Ao Nang. An abundance of colorful coral reefs and lovely cartoon fishes make these islands ideal for diving and snorkeling.

OAKLAND (CBS/AP) — Police say activists protesting capitalism broke windows and vandalized ATMs at several banks in downtown Oakland.
Oakland police say no one was arrested and no injuries were reported after a protest march turned violent Friday night.
About 50 protesters caused damage at the branches of several banks, including Bank of America, California Bank & Trust, Chase Bank, Union Bank and Wells Fargo Bank.
The newspaper says the protesters also shattered a window pane at the landmark Tribune Tower, the former home of the Oakland Tribune.
The protest was billed as an "Anti-Capitalist Rally & March Against Police Repression" and was organized by the Bay Area Radical Action Committee.

Rusty stain around screws.
Somebody asked the team about rusty stains around screws on an Aero 117. I had the same problem on a Carve 123.
This stain is easily removed with clear vinegar.

RE: Rusty stain around screws.
Thanks for the chemistry tip. This reminded me of yellowing hull and how to make them white again.
Acetic acid in commonly found in vinegar. You can try citric acid as well which is commonly found in lemon juice (less stinky than vinegar).
Anything which is weakly acidic will works to remove singly positive charged salt (Na+, K+, etc...) and doubly positive charged salt deposits (Ca++, Mg++, Cu++, Fe++, etc...) commonly found dissolved in fresh and salt water. Some freshwater or saltwater windsurfing areas may contain higher or lower concentration of each of these mineral salts, hence producing different degree of hull's "yellowing".
The mechanism of "yellowing" or "rusty stain" removal is by chemical competition with H+ protons found in the acid. The higher concentration of the acid is , the higher number of H+ proton is found and the quicker the competition reaction goes.
It looks like the plastic surface of the hulls made by the Cobra factory is negatively charged to allow the binding of salt deposits by coulombic interactions. The cure would be to coat the hull surface with a "paint" containing a chemically inert agent. I guess a metallic ion such as Aluminum or Zinc could be used to render the plastic surface non-reactive chemically and corrosion-free. Unfortunately, I'm not educated in plastic engineering, so I can't elaborate further. The plastic bottle industry or the food plastic packaging industry should know the solution to this problem.
The same principles described as above do apply to cure monofilm sails which have turned white/yellow with time.
Cheers !

RE: Rusty stain around screws.
This is poster 1 again.
The stain in this case is Iron Oxide (rust) from the screws. I first thought that the screws were a low quality stainless but a very strong magnet would not attract them. I think that the rusting was the result of crevice corrosion.
This is where part of a stainless object which is shielded from oxygen develops a different voltage from the part which is exposed when immersed in an electrolyte (in this case salt water). Biological activity or and corrosion could have lowered the oxygen in the screw hole.
When I got this rust stain developed, the board had been left in a bag and there was evidence of rusting at the edge of the hole but nowhere else except of course from the anti twist plate which corroded badly. This may have made a further contribution to the galvanic cell which caused the rusting at the air boundary.
I was able to remove the stain quickly using a brush and vinegar.

RE: Rusty stain around screws.
The rust on the screw was at the outer edge of the hole. The screw was perfectly clean where it went through the strap. I used a 10X eyepiece to have a good look at it. I concluded at the time that the rust at that point did not come from the anti twist plate. The rust on the white deck pad was greatest near the hole and became less with increasing distance from it.
I read a text on marine metal corrosion about 30 years ago. I have forgotten most of the details. It went into great detail on the causes of corrosion in stainless steel. It is most inert when exposed to oxygen.
I have given my observations. Reading the post about the Aero it appears that the problem continues.
I fitted Da Kine straps and cleaned the foam with vinegar. Both worked well.
I am now back to where I started.

Depending on the weather, the
USDA is expected to start air operations in the Niagara and Erie counties on
Tuesday, Aug. 21.
To foster its goal of preventing the further spread of wildlife rabies, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's wildlife services program has begun its 2012 distribution of oral rabies vaccine baits in select areas along the East Coast. This effort seeks to prevent the spread of raccoon rabies.
With their cooperators, WS has begun distributing the oral rabies vaccination baits by aircraft and by hand.
The baits will be distributed in the following select areas and time periods.
In Northeast to Mid-Atlantic States, between Aug. 15 and mid-September:
•The Plattsburgh project will cover parts of New York, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and distribute 580,500 baits by fixed-wing aircraft and 12,960 by hand;
•The Batavia project will cover parts of New York and distribute 158,700 baits by fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and 16,920 by hand;
•The Allegheny, Pa., project will cover parts of Pennsylvania and distribute 314,270 baits by hand;
•The North Lima, Ohio, project will cover parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia and distribute 643,500 baits by fixed and rotary-wing aircraft and 85,690 by hand;
•The Clarksburg, W.V., project will cover parts of West Virginia and Ohio and distribute 931,500 baits by fixed-wing aircraft and 21,960 by hand. In southern states, between Oct. 2 and mid-October:
•The Prattville, Ala., project will cover parts of Alabama and distribute 81,000 baits by rotary-wing aircraft;
•The Greeneville, Tenn., project will cover parts of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia and distribute 715,500 baits by fixed-wing aircraft and 112,320 by hand;
•The Dalton, Ga., project will cover parts of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee and distribute 603,000 baits by fixed-wing aircraft and 63,000 by hand.
•The Cape Cod, MA project will cover parts of Massachusetts and distribute 24,240 baits by hand.
Depending on the weather, the USDA is expected to start air operations in the Niagara and Erie counties on Tuesday, Aug. 21. Officials will follow the airdrop with hand-baiting in the City of Niagara Falls and helicopter baiting in selected areas of the Niagara and Erie counties through Aug. 30. Niagara County expects to receive 60,000 baits via the airplane; 18,000 packets via helicopter; and 4,000 via hand.
The public is asked to leave the baits in place so that they can be consumed by wildlife. Standard precautions apply to any human or domestic animal contacting the bait. Contact with the bait should be avoided. However, any incidents of accidental human or animal contact should be reported to 1-888-574-6556; this number is listed on each bait packet.
For general questions or concerns regarding the bait drop, the public can contact the USDA at 1-866-487-3297 or the Niagara County Department of Health Environmental Division, for local assistance, at 716-439-7444. Additional information is also available at the following websites:
The National Rabies Management Program was established in recognition of the changing scope of rabies in which the primary human risk is now due to exposure from wildlife rather than domestic pets. The goal of the program is to prevent the further spread of wildlife rabies and eventually eliminate terrestrial rabies in the U.S. through an integrated program that includes vaccinating wildlife against the disease.
Oral rabies vaccination baits are coated with a fishmeal attractant and may be packaged in one-inch square cubes or two-inch plastic sachets.
The Raboral V-RG vaccine has been shown to be safe in more than 60 different species of animals, including domestic dogs and cats. Humans and pets cannot get rabies from contact with the baits, but are asked to leave them undisturbed should they encounter them. Dogs that consume large numbers of baits may experience an upset stomach, but there are no long-term health risks. If contact with baits occurs, immediately rinse the contact area with warm water and soap.
Rabies is caused by a virus that infects the central nervous system in mammals. Signs suggestive of rabies include unusual, aggressive or calm and "friendly" behavior, an inability to eat or drink, balance problems, circling, seizures, coma and finally death. While rabies is fatal, human exposures can be successfully treated, if treatment is sought immediately following a bite.
Since 1995, WS has been working cooperatively with local, state and federal governments, universities and other partners to address this public health problem by distributing oral rabies vaccination baits in targeted areas. This cooperative program targets the raccoon variant in the eastern U.S., and unique variants of rabies in coyotes and foxes in Texas.
For additional information concerning the raccoon oral rabies vaccine program, visit http://www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife%20damage/oral%20rabies/index.shtml or contact WS toll free at 1-866-4-USDA-WS (1-866-487-3297).
APHIS works to create and sustain opportunities for America's farmers, ranchers and producers. Each day, APHIS promotes U.S. agricultural health, regulates genetically engineered organisms, administers the Animal Welfare Act, and carries out wildlife damage management activities, all to safeguard the nation's $157 billion agriculture, fishing and forestry industries. In the event that a pest or disease of concern is detected, APHIS implements emergency protocols and partners with affected states and other countries to quickly manage or eradicate the outbreak. To promote the health of U.S. agriculture in the international trade arena, APHIS develops and advances science-based standards with trading partners to ensure America's agricultural exports, valued at more than $137 billion annually, are protected from unjustified restrictions.

Tootsie Roll (NYSE:TR) sells candy, including chocolate, bubble gum, lollipops, and its trademark Tootsie Roll truffles. TR also produces the number one selling (Junior Mint) and number two selling (Dots) movie theater candies. Along with being sold at movie theaters, TR products are given at holidays like Halloween and bought from stores like Wal-Mart (which accounted for 23.5% of Tootsie Roll sales in 2008).[1]
TR competes in the confectioners industry against large companies such as Hershey, Cadbury, and Mars. Candy is most popular during the holiday season (October to March), so these companies rely on the holiday season for annual sales. TR has a different strategy, which consists of selling its top movie theater candies in the summer months. Corn syrup and milk are primary ingredients in much of Tootsie's candy, so the company also contends with rising corn and milk prices. In response, TR has invested in more efficient manufacturing equipment.
Halloween is Tootsie Roll's best selling period with third quarter sales nearly double those of any other quarter in the year. In 2009 TR posted strong results in all major trade classes including grocery, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, dollar stores and drug chains. Especially popular at Halloween are TR large bags of Child's Play and other mixed candy assortments, which are offered in a variety of merchandising presentations.
Tootsie Roll sells its products under the brands Tootsie Roll, Tootsie Roll Pops, Caramel Apple Pops, Child's Play, Charms, Blow Pop, Blue Razz, Cella's chocolate covered cherries,Tootsie Dots,Tootsie Crows, Junior Mints, Junior Caramels, Charleston Chew, Sugar Daddy, Sugar Babies, Andes, Fluffy Stuff cotton Dubble Bubble, Razzles, Cry Baby, Nik-L-Nip and EI Bubble.
Tootsie Roll's products are marketed in a variety of packages designed to be suitable for display and sale in different types of retail outlets. They are distributed through approximately 100 candy and grocery brokers and by the Company itself to approximately 15,000 customers throughout the United States. These customers include wholesale distributors of candy and groceries, supermarkets, variety stores, dollar stores, chain grocers, drug chains, discount chains, cooperative grocery associations, warehouse and membership club stores, vending machine operators, the U.S. military and fund-raising charitable organizations.
The Company's principal markets are in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The majority of production from the Company's Canadian plants is sold in the United States. The majority of production from the Company's Mexican plant is sold in Mexico.
First Quarter 2010 Earnings[2]
Tootsie Roll announced first quarter 2010 sales of $103.244 million, compared to $94.054 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 10%. First quarter net earnings were $9.985 million, compared to $8.320 million in the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share increased 14% from the year ago quarter to $0.14.
Sales benefited from marketing programs and favorable foreign currency translation effects. However, earnings were adversely affected by higher ingredient costs, primarily sugar, increases in distribution costs such as fuel costs, and higher income taxes.
Tootsie Roll produces candy in the form of chocolates, caramels, bubble gum, lollipops, and other confections. These candies are packaged by TR and sold under brand names like Tootsie Roll (chocolate taffy and lollipops), Double Bubble (bubble gum), Charms (lollipops), and Junior Mints (mint chocolates). TR candy is sold at just about every consumer venue, from supermarkets such as Wal-Mart (23.5% of 2008 net sales)[1] to convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and vending machines.
Candy is in highest demand for holidays -- especially Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day. Consumers buy candy as gifts for holidays. Thus, confectionery companies rely on the competitive five month holiday season for most of their annual sales. In this time range, TR competes with Hershey, Mars, and Cadbury -- companies who all have at least 500% more market cap than TR.[3]
TR focuses on the summer movie season for sales -- a strategy different from it's competitors who garner sales during the holiday season. TR has developed many niche products sold in movie theaters. TR has 10 of the top 50 theater and home video candies, including the top selling (Junior Mint) and second-highest selling (Dots).[4] Consumers go to the movies more frequently in the summer, when work is less strenuous and blockbuster films are shown. Thus, TR's highest revenues come in the summer when consumers are at the movie theaters.
Corn for corn syrup is TR's highest volume commodity, as corn syrup is a key ingredient in their products. Milk is also an ingredient in TR products. Unfortunately for all confectionery companies, corn and milk prices have increased in the last decade. In response, TR competitively bids for commodities and buys in bulk. TR has invested in state of the art equipment to eliminate waste and increase manufacturing efficiency in operations.[5]
Although energy costs decreased during 2009 from the record levels of 2008, other commodity prices generally remained at historically high levels. Cost decreases in edible oils, dairy products and corn based sweeteners were largely offset by surging sugar prices. In packaging, decreases in the cost of films and folding cartons were more than offset by increases in corrugated and specialty papers.
In April of 2008, Mars candy acquired Wrigley for $23 billion to offer an expanded product line compared to Hershey -- its biggest competitor in the confectioners business.[6] Mars manufactures many popular candies, including M&M's, Snickers, and Skittles. Like Mars, Hershey has a name brand that sells during the most important time in the confectioners industry year -- the holiday season. With the acquisition of Wrigley, Mars offers name brand gum products. In response, Hershey wants to make similar additions to expand its product line and keep pace with Mars.[7] Like Wrigley, TR offers products different from the standard chocolate candies, including gum, lollipops, and mints. Also, TR manufactures niche movie theater candy, including the number one selling (Junior Mint) and number two selling (Dots) products.

Tonight I returned to my floral series with a really fun yet easy-to-do design - sunflowers! I'm seriously loving this mani and I think a lot of if has to do with the base colour I chose which is Blue Sparrow by China Glaze. Because this is a neon, it dries sort of matte and the glitter isn't as noticeable at first but once you add top coat, this baby really comes to life. This is a permanent colour and in my opinion, it's a total must-have.
Hope you like the mani!

Chair's ColumnBy Linda A. Baumann, Arent Fox LLP, Washington, DC
Even If You've Never Attended the Washington Healthcare Summit, Be Sure to go This Year!
By now you should have received the brochure with the agenda for the Washington Healthcare Summit ("the Summit"); one of the Health Law Section's primary in-person conferences. The Summit will be held Dec. 6-7, 2010 at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City in Arlington, VA. You can access the brochure with the agenda and registration information here. This is the eighth annual Summit and believe it or not, a number of people signed up before the program was even announced. This is a tribute both to the consistent high quality of the speakers and participants as well as the Summit Planning Committee that works so hard each year to pull everything together.
Key Government Officials Speak on a Wide Range of Healthcare Reform-Related Topics
This year's Summit obviously is focused on many facets of healthcare reform as well as other cutting edge issues. The Planning Committee, co-chaired by Kirk Nahra and David Douglass, this year has put together a remarkable program. The agenda covers a wide range of topics with an outstanding and impressive group of speakers from numerous key government agencies as well as private practice and other settings. In addition to the always popular Congressional Roundtable, the Attorney General Perspective and the Enforcement and Compliance Roundtable, there are panels on the Future of Health Care Reform, Accountable Care Organizations, Insurance Reform and the States, Recent Program Integrity Initiatives, Key Tax Issues, Comparative Effectiveness, Enforcement and Compliance Confronting the Pharmaceutical and Device Industries, Medicare Advantage and Part D, the Anti-Trust Implications of Health Care Reform, The Constitutional Challenges to Health Care Reform, Medical Marijuana Laws, Health Reform's Impact on Benefit Plans and the Present and Future of Health Care Privacy. The speakers come from the Hill, HHS, (including CMS, OIG, and AHRQ), FDA, FTC, DOJ, IRS, DOL, SEC, as well as NABP, NAIC, NGA, AHA, think tanks, academia, etc. (You may want to attend the Summit just to learn what some of these acronyms stand for!)
Meet Your Colleagues (from the Government and Other Practice Settings)
One of the best "hidden secrets" about the Summit is its relatively small size and the large number of government attorneys who attend as well as speak on panels. Last year over half of the paid attendees at the Summit were government attorneys. When you attend the Summit as a private practitioner or in-house counsel, you may well have a chance to meet informally with a Hill staffer or regulator you will have to work with at some point in the future or have only corresponded with by phone or email. As a government attorney, you may have the chance to find out more about the industry's perspectives and practical concerns about certain issues. In any event, it's a chance to meet your colleagues and think about some of the big picture issues as well as the realities of implementation and enforcement of specific provisions. In addition, many of the Section Interest Groups, including the new Long Term Care Task Force, will be hosting roundtable discussions during breakfast Tuesday morning. (It's a great chance to see if you might want to add another Interest Group to your Section membership; remember you can join up to three for free!)
The Summit's History
I'd like to share a little inside background on the Summit with you, since it exemplifies many of the best characteristics of the Section. First, the Section is always open to good, new ideas. The creation of a conference that focuses on the many intersections between health law and the government is the brainchild of Bonnie Brier, a former Section Chair. Bonnie also wanted to develop a program that would encourage government lawyers to feel welcome and to actively participate in the Section. The Washington, DC area seemed like the perfect venue for such a conference since it would be easier to attract government speakers and government participants who wouldn't need to travel far to attend. The idea of creating a major new conference from scratch is always a little daunting, but was even more so in this case. The Section had lost money on a few conferences in the past and there was some thought that it would be more financially prudent to stick with (less expensive) teleconferences. Nevertheless, the potential advantages were so obvious and exciting that the Section Council approved the concept and set up the Planning Committee.
The fact that I was asked to serve as one of the co-chairs of the Planning Committee for the first Summit demonstrates the leadership opportunities available to Section members. I was a relative newcomer to the Section and had never been on a program Planning Committee before. My primary qualifications were that I was enthusiastic and had worked hard on other Section assignments (having served on The Health Lawyer Editorial Board and worked on the Fraud and Abuse treatise that ultimately was published by the Section and BNA Books). Moreover, since my co-chair was Patricia Meador, a wonderful health lawyer and former Section Chair, it was an incredible opportunity to learn from one of the best. However, much as I loved working on the Summit, Section policy requires rotation and I had to move on after a few years so there would be opportunities for others.
I served as a co-chair for the Summit's first three years with numerous, wonderful Planning Committee members who did yeoman's duty tracking down speakers who could provide invaluable insights on the substantive issues as well as the political context (from the Hill, the Administration, academia, the media, Attorney General and other state government offices as well as private practitioners, in-house counsel and others). The search for Summit speakers is incredibly challenging because of the vagaries of the political process. (It's probably as close as I'll ever come to feeling like an air traffic controller – a crash can happen at any moment.) No one wants to commit to speak before you have to get the brochure printed, and there's always the risk that Congress will go in or out of session or schedule a vote at a totally inopportune moment, e.g., when the Congressperson or a key staffer is supposed to be speaking at the Summit. When your plenary speaker cancels literally the night before the Summit is due to start, you need good friends with outstanding political skills. (I'm not going to name names, but the miracle worker who got a well-known member of Congress to substitute at absolutely the last minute is a speaker at this year's Summit where she will no doubt demonstrate some of that remarkable expertise.) These columns are far too short to recognize everyone individually but many of these individuals from prior Summit Planning Committees have remained Section stalwarts and become close friends.
The Planning Committee members for this year's Summit have done a phenomenal job in putting together this outstanding program. In addition, the Summit could never take place without the superb and dedicated efforts of Section staff who not only had to do their "day jobs" but also had to step in and cover the Summit while we continue our search for a meeting planner.
Finally, I wanted to close this Chair's Column by noting that the Section's new Director, Wanda Workman, started with us on Nov. 1, 2010. Be sure to introduce yourself to Wanda; she's looking forward to meeting you.

Sweet Potato Indian Pudding
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: While trying to decide what to make for dessert twoThanksgivings ago, I first learned about Indian Pudding. I did a little research and found out that recipes for the baked custard known as Indian Pudding go back several hundred years, but despite the name, it is not a traditional native American dessert. It was made by the American colonists, though: it's a variation on British Hasty Pudding, but made with "local" American cornmeal (hence the name- cornmeal was once known as Indian meal). My version, which incorporates baked silky sweet potatoes, is fairly simple, but it's dense and delicious. It is best when cooked at a low temperature for a long time, almost 2 hours. It makes a great dessert for Thanksgiving, and it can be served with a little cream poured on top, or with a scoop of fresh whipped cream, crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream. It is also wonderful plain, and I love it cold for (a decidedly somewhat decadent) breakfast. —WinnieAb
Serves: 6-8
large sweet potatoes
cups milk
cup cornmeal
tablespoons butter
cup plus 2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar
cup molasses
1 1/2
teaspoons cinnamon
teaspoon ground ginger
teaspoon nutmeg
teaspoon salt
eggs, at room temperature
cup heavy cream, half and half, creme fraiche or sour cream
- Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and wrap them in foil. Bake in a 400°F oven for 1.5 hours. Carefully remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before unwrapping and slicing in half. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F.
- Scoop out the sweet potato flesh and place it in a blender with the milk. Blend until smooth.
- In a heavy pan, heat the sweet potato and milk mixture over medium heat. Add the cornmeal, and, while you stir it with a whisk, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low-medium and continue to whisk as you cook for 5-10 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, molasses, spices, and salt. Whisk to blend all the ingredients. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs. Add about 1/2 cup of the warm cornmeal mixture to the eggs and beat again. Add the tempered eggs to the larger pot of the batter and whisk together to combine.
- Add the 1/2 cup of cream, half and half, sour cream or creme fraiche and whisk again.
- Pour the batter into a buttered baking dish and bake at 275°F for 2 hours. Serve warm, alone or with cream or whipped cream, crème fraîche, or ice cream.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Al Jefferson scored a season-high 28 points and Derrick Favors made three free throws down the stretch, helping the Utah Jazz remain unbeaten at home with a 105-103 win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
The Nuggets had a chance to tie it with 3.6 seconds left but Ty Lawson was double-teamed and passed too late for Corey Brewer to get off a final shot.
The Jazz, who improved to 6-0 at home, trailed by as many as 16 in the first half and were down 12 with 7:27 left in the third before going on a 14-2 run to tie it at 77.
The Nuggets played the rest of the way without Andre Iguodala, who was ejected with 3:24 left in the third. He had 10 points, three rebounds and three turnovers.
Favors added a season-high 19 points and seven rebounds, including two in the final minute.
Kenneth Faried led Denver with 21 points.

Playoff time is here for Classes A, B — which caps off another busy weeks of hoops
It's hard to believe the playoffs are here. It just seems like we started the season just a while back.But for the five LeFlore County schools in Classes A (Arkoma and Cameron) and B (Bokoshe, Leflore and Whitesboro), the playoffs will begin Friday and Saturday in district tournaments. The complete schedule is listed at the end of this column.Class 2A, 3A and 4A District Tournaments will not begin until the end of next week. The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association threw some unexpected match-ups for district tournaments.In Class 4A, Poteau got to be home again for district tournament — this time against Hilldale.Our county's two Class 3A teams — Heavener and Spiro — may have been a little shocked, as I was, as to where the OSSAA sent them for their district tournaments. Heavener was sent north up U.S. 59 to the town of Kansas. Spiro was shipped west to Eufaula.But the biggest changes occurred in Class 2A as the OSSAA re-classified some Class A teams and made them Class 2A. That means that with more teams in that class, district tournaments will have three teams in them as opposed to the customary two teams as in years past.Two county Class 2A teams, Panama and Wister, got to be hosts for district tournaments. Panama will entertain archrival Pocola and Gore, while Wister will welcome Howe and Fort Towson.Talihina, the county's other Class 2A team, was sent north to Warner along with Summit Christian.All I can say is, "Let the fun begin!"ScheduleTonightMuldrow at Poteau, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Pocola at Heavener, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Spiro at Sallisaw, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Talihina at Hartshorne, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Thursday NightPanama at Pocola, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Friday NightRegular SeasonPoteau at Spiro, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Haileyville at Panama, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Stigler at Heavener, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Pocola at Hartshorne, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Talihina at Wilburton, 6:30 and 8 p.m.PlayoffsClass A District TournamentAt CameronCameron girls vs. Clayton, 6:30 p.m.; Arkoma boys vs. Clayton, 8 p.m.Class B District TournamentsAt WhitesboroEagletown girls vs. Moyers, 6:30 p.m.; Whitesboro boys vs. Eagletown, 8 p.m.At KintaMidway girls vs. Kinta, 6:30 p.m.; Bokoshe boys vs. Midway, 8 p.m.Saturday NightPlayoffsClass A District TournamentAt CameronArkoma girls vs. Cameron-Clayton winner, 6:30 p.m.; Cameron boys vs. Arkoma-Clayton winner, 8 p.m.Class B District TournamentsAt LefloreMcCurtain at Leflore, 6:30 and 8 p.m.At WhitesboroWhitesboro girls vs. Eagletown-Moyers winner, 6:30 p.m.; Moyers boys vs. Whitesboro-Eagletown winner, 8 p.m.At KintaBokoshe girls vs. Midway-Kinta winner, 6:30 p.m.; Kinta boys vs. Bokoshe-Midway winner, 8 p.m.Monday NightHowe at Pocola, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Porum at Panama, 6:30 and 8 p.m.Stigler at Spiro, 6:30 and 8 p.m.

This contest is now closed.
If you hadn't heard, today is a big day for tablets. No, I'm not talking about that other tablet. I'm talking about the fact that we're giving away a pair of quad-core Transformer Primes. We've paired with @NVIDIATegra to make sure this is a Friday you'll never forget.
To ensure we kept it big, these are the 32GB model AND they come with the matching keyboard dock. Taylor and I both run a Prime as our primary tablet. So if you don't know how awesome of a prize this is, let me tell you: this is an awesome prize. As such, we've got a pretty kickass method for getting these bad boys into your hands.
How to win
Since we've got two Primes, we've also got two ways to win. The first is simple and just requires leaving a comment on this post. We'll leave comments open for 24 hours, after which point we'll select a random winner.
The second tablet? That's where things get interesting. To give it out, we'll be hosting a live game show tomorrow over on our Google+ page. To win, users will need to join us in a live Hangout on Air and play a game of chance. In addition to the Prime, we'll have a whole slew of other prizes, including free tees, cases from @speckproducts and even a Powerbag.
To participate, you'll need to circle +Android and Me on Google+, but you've probably done that already, right? Tomorrow afternoon we'll make a post on our G+ page looking for contestants. If you're in the right place at the right time, that could be you. The only requirement is a camera and microphone so you can join us in the Hangout.
Aside from giving away a fresh Prime, we'll also use the Hangout to be announce the winner of today's comment contest, so make sure you tune in even if you don't want to join us live on air. If you're somehow still not excited, check out the rad TegraZone game montage below that shows just how Tegra 3 rolls:
So that's it! Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a new 32GB ASUS Transformer Prime from @NVIDIATegra. Then join us again tomorrow on Google+ to see if you won. Or if you can win the other. Or if someone else will. The suspense is killing me!
This contest is US only.
Update: Congrats to Shawn Clark who won the comment contest! The winner of the Transformer Prime during the live hangout was Adam Lawrence.

Natty's Birthday Jumper
Added Jun 10, 2009
by nattyjane
Berkeley, Califo...
It's my favorite cousin's birthday this week so I made her a dress as a gift. I used a Simplicity pattern from the 70s that I bought at the thrift store. The striped fabric, the zipper, and the buttons were all from the thrift store as well so the dress has an overall old fashioned feel which I am very pleased with. My cousin is going to France soon and I keep imagining her wearing this dress while wandering the beautiful streets of an old French village.
Material Notes
Striped cotton, 18 inch zipper, and two dark blue buttons.

The Secret History of a Modern Disease
Manufacturing Depression
The Secret History of a Modern Disease
Greenberg draws on sources ranging from the Bible to current medical journals to show how the idea that unhappiness is an illness has been packaged and sold by brilliant scientists and shrewd marketing experts—and why it has been so successful. Part memoir, part intellectual history, part exposé—including a vivid chronicle of his participation in a clinical antidepressant trial—Manufacturing Depression is an incisive look at an epidemic that has changed the way we have come to think of ourselves.

Reading Group Guide
Manufacturing Depression is psychotherapist Gary Greenberg's look at how we came to have the common belief that depression is a biochemical illness. It starts with the revolution in medicine set off when doctors first discovered that drugs could target the molecular causes of disease, continues through the accidental, drug-fueled discoveries that led scientists to surmise that serotonin imbalances caused depression, and culminates with pharmaceutical companies' shrewd and wildly successful efforts to spin these discoveries into a theory that unhappiness is a disease for which they have the cure.
The author details the way that doctors and drug companies advanced their chemical imbalance theory despite a lack of evidence, and how even now, when most scientists agree that depression is not a simple biochemical glitch, they continue to tell their patients that it is, and urge them to take antidepressants for the same reason that diabetics take insulin. He also traces the idea th see more

April 13, 1983
To: Deans, Department Chairs, Administrative Heads
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: New Address For San José State University
Recently we were informed by the U.S. Post Office of two events of interest to you: first, we would have to add to our letterhead and envelopes the additional our-digit zip required by law; and second, that we would have to discontinue use of our Washington Square address.
With the assistance of City Councilwoman Iola Williams, the City
of San José has recently given us a new address:
San José State University, One Washington Square, San José, CA 95192-0001
With these changes in mind, I asked the Office of Community Relations to design new stationery that incorporates the University's logo (not the seal) as well as these most recent changes.
As you use up your existing supplies of stationery and reorder for the coming year, you will be issued stationery with the new logo, the new address and the new zip codes assigned to your department or program. Your department will be charged a modest fee for these changes, but I want to point out the fee would have been the same had we made only one small change, such as the zip code, or had we totally redesigned the letterhead, as we have done.
No additional paperwork or effort will be required of you as you reorder. Simply fill out the Reprographics Service Requisition and request replacement letterhead and envelopes in the usual manner. Do not use new stationery with old.
State policy does not permit the expenditure of general fund monies for business cards bearing the new design. However, those of you who wish to order cards bearing the new design (see attached example) may do so by calling Mr. Craig Kochersberger, Graphics Coordinator, 7-3838. These cards must be paid for with non-State monies.
Should you have questions or require assistance, please call Mr. Kochersberger.

Honda Motor Co. is all set to unload a choice piece of property in Kern County this year (Southern California residents should find this statement funny), as the company has put up for sale the Honda Proving Center of California (HPCC). Consisting of a total of 4,255 acres (give or take a few), the proving ground facility consists of a 7.5 mile oval, a 4.5 mile track of winding city roadway, skid pad, MX/SX track, support facilities, offices, warehouses, and plenty of desert terrain just to name a few of the highlights.
A landing spot for many Honda cars, motorcycles, and ATVs, the Japanese company has put a variety of its products through their paces at the HPCC, but that's all about to change as reports indicate Honda will be consolidating its testing grounds to Ohio. With an automotive buyer seemingly unlikely, the HPCC's proximity to the California power grid seems to make its future as a solar farm very likely.

I am a young woman and I experience discharges all the time. I used to pray and read Qur'aan until the time for the next obligatory prayer came, then I read a fatwa which said that a woman can read Qur'aan and pray naafil prayers but this should be at the beginning of the time until the time for the next prayer begins. We know that the beginning of the time is when the muezzin gives the call to prayer, but when is the beginning of the time for the next prayer – is it one quarter of an hour before the adhaan or less?.
Continuous discharge comes under the heading of continual impurity; it is like istihaadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), urinary incontinence or continual passing of wind. The one who is affected by this discharges has to do wudoo' at the time of every prayer, then pray as much as she wants of naafil prayers, and she may touch the Mus-haf with that wudoo', until the time for the next prayer begins.
With regard to reciting Qur'aan without touching the Mus-haf, wudoo' is not required for that. The person who is impure in the sense of minor impurity may recite Qur'aan by heart, or recite from the Mus'haf if he holds it with a barrier such as gloves and the like. For the ruling on discharges please see question no. 50404.
What is meant by the beginning of the time is the time when the adhaan is given for the prayer, according to the timing in each land.
Islam has stipulated the timings for the beginning and end of each prayer. You will find details of this in the answer to question no. 9940.
If the time for 'Asr, for example, starts at 3 p.m., then when the woman who is experiencing discharges does wudoo' for Zuhr, she may touch the Mus-haf, circumambulate the Ka'bah and offer as many naafil prayers as she wants until 3 p.m., when the adhaan is given for 'Asr prayer, so long as she does not break her wudoo' in any other way apart from discharges during that time, such as by urinating and other things that are known to break wudoo', because she is only excused for the discharge because it is continuous and it is hard to stop it.
And Allaah knows best.

Reds among De Jong suitors - agent
Liverpool are one of a host of clubs interested in signing prolific FC Twente striker Luuk De Jong, according to the player's agent.
De Jong, 21, has dazzled for Twente this season, netting 23 goals in 23 Eredivisie games for Steve McClaren's side.
But with Twente struggling to qualify for next season's Champions League, De Jong is tipped to end his three-year association with the club in search of a new challenge abroad.
The Netherlands international has previously stated a desire to play in the Premier League and his agent Luis Laros has now named Liverpool as one of the clubs interested in him, but also stressed that he has no shortage of admirers.
"Liverpool are following Luuk closely. But so are 15 other clubs," Laros told Voetbal International. "Three big clubs that have qualified for the Champions League preliminaries have told us that they are ready to open talks with Twente.
"We will keep our eyes and ears open in the next few weeks. Luuk is feeling very well at Twente, but if the club fails to qualify for Europe, staying put is a less attractive option."
Everton and Newcastle have all been mooted as potential destinations for De Jong in the past, while Borussia Monchengladbach have recently emerged as candidates for his signature.

The High Line is full of signs that fall has arrived in New York City. There is a chill in the air, and picnics on the 23rd Street Lawn and the sights and sounds of children splashing in the water feature on the Diller-Von Furstenberg Sundeck have given way to quiet strolls through the park.
When you visit the High Line in the next few weeks, you can spot the gardeners tending to the milkweed pods in the planting beds, and the maintenance staff preparing for a busy schedule of fall programming. When you stroll through the Chelsea Grasslands, you smell the sweet scent of the Prairie Dropseed, or you might catch a blooming Solidago nestled in a bundle of autumn leaves. Visitors to the Chelsea Market Passage can try new menu items from from High Line Food vendors, such as hot chocolate from Blue Bottle Coffee or grilled cheese sandwiches at The Porch.
While the bright flowers of the warmer months capture our imagination, the subtle beauty of the High Line's autumnal leaves, stems, and seed heads encourage visitors to slow down and rediscover the park's unique landscape. The creative team behind the High Line, James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro worked with the renowned landscape designer Piet Oudolf to create an environment that would accentuate the park's architecture and landscape by equally honoring shape, texture, and color of the plants and flowers throughout the four seasons.
In his forward to Piet Oudolf's book, Landscapes in Landscapes, Co-Founder Robert Hammond identifies the value Piet has brought to the High Line. "Piet's landscape allows people to breathe easier — not for its manicured beauty, but for its ability to change as nature does," he says.
Piet believes that "brown is a color too," and in the fall and winter months he challenges us to find the value of a plant beyond its vibrant flowers. It is with this philosophy in mind that Piet's work makes seed heads, grasses, and leaves come to life, just when the casual observer sees life beginning to hibernate.
As blooms start to fade and the foliage starts to dry, we invite you to experience these transitional moments on the High Line and share with us the images that you capture on your visit.

During the 1930s photography became implicated in the vital political and social questions of the era as never before. A key exponent was the Viennese-born photographer Edith Tudor-Hart, who left Austria for Britain after being arrested for her political activities in 1933. Having trained at the Bauhaus she pursued a career as a documentary and portrait photographer, covering issues of poverty, social division and child welfare in Vienna, London, Tyneside, Wales and Scotland.
Tudor-Hart's photography constitutes a sophisticated Realism, marked by its directness and capacity to communicate. Notoriously, she also worked as a low-level agent for the Soviets in both Austria and Britain and was pursued by the security services until her death in 1973. The exhibition includes remarkable black and white photographs capturing the politically-charged atmosphere of interwar Vienna, Britain during the slump of the 1930s, and Tudor-Hart's psychologically penetrating imagery of children during the post-war years.

Update (10/30): Kindle pre-order has exceeded expectations. Order your Nook from Barnes & Noble today.
It was only a week ago that we learned Barnes & Noble was preparing an Android-powered eReader and now the device is official. Nook was unveiled yesterday and is already available for pre-order at $259. B&N is pushing Nook as "The world's most advanced eBook reader" and we tend to agree with them.
I went ahead and pre-ordered the device and here are 5 reasons why I think it could top Amazon's Kindle.
1. Powered by Android
It is hard to tell from the online demos, but Nook is actually powered by Android. This opens up the possibility to future applications which could extend the functionality of the device. Barnes & Noble has said they are open to the possibility of releasing a SDK for developers if the community demands it (and we will).
"We haven't announced anything regarding putting out an SDK or setting up a developer environment, but we do think Android offers some exciting opportunities in that way," Lynch said this morning during a conference call with reporters. "We do think – just because of all the excitement and all the development around Android – we do think that putting out an SDK and a developer environment would be something exciting for us and our users."
We also expect the Android community will quickly hack the device and contribute their own cool additions.
2. Dual screens
The Nook features a 6 inch e-ink display and a 3.5 inch color touchscreen LCD. The touchscreen is capacitive and allows users to navigate their eBooks library, purchase new content, read the news, access and other content. Kindle only features a single 6 inch e-ink display.
3. WiFi access
Unlike the Kindle, Nook includes WiFi access. This will allow the device to be connected anywhere in the world. Barnes & Noble also offers special content and promotions when users connect to the WiFi at any Barnes & Noble store. Users will be able to access full eBooks for free when in a Barnes & Noble store.
4. Lend books to friends
Purchase a great book and want to lend it to a friend? Users can share their eBooks with friends using one of the eReader clients. Books can only be lent to one user at a time and are automatically returned after 14 days.
5. More for less
The Nook is available for pre-order at only $259 which is cheaper than the latest generation Amazon Kindle for $279.99 $259. Customers who pay less for the Nook will have access to additional features like memory expansion via microSD slot, replaceable battery, native PDF support, and support for the open EPUB eBook format (PDF).
Still not sold? Watch the promo video.
For an in-depth comparison, check the official site (PDF).
Update 10/22: Kindle price was lowered to $259.99 after this was posted.

Debian Lenny on LS-CHLv2
This guide will explain how to install Debian GNU/Linux "Lenny" on the Linkstation Live LS-CHL (=LS) using the Debian "debootstrap" procedure. The original kernel will be preserved, as well as the original bootloader (U-Boot).
Basic idea:
- create a Debian system with debootstrap
- replace the old filesystem with the new one
This guide will ask to open up the device case, reformat partitions, delete existing data, etc. All of these actions may void your warranty, destroy your data, etc. In general you can receive help from the community of from the Buffalo forums but bear in mind that every problem you may encounter is ultimately up to you to solve. You do it at your own risk.
This guide worked on LS-CHLv2 and LS-XHL.
This guide suggests to install the blstools instead, a small set of utilities developed for this hardware and enable some operations which would not be possible from a plain Debian install:
- turn the unit off from the on-off-auto switch
- turn unit blinking LEDs to still blue when boot is complete
- resume blinking when the unit is shutting down
- use the USB port
Please note that the Armel Debian "micro_evtd" package will NOT work on LS-CHLv2 and LS-XHL because of different hardware.
- 1 Preliminary steps
- 2 Prepare a Debian Lenny root filesystem
- 3 Installation
- 4 blstools
- 5 References
Preliminary steps
Don't update the firmware
If possible don't upgrade firmware to version 1.21 as you will not be able to easily get console access to the LS. Kernel
Obtain root access to the linkstation
You are supposed to start from an "open" Stock Firmware, that is stock software that you can telnet to,
Follow this guide to get telnet root console access to the LS.
Note for firmware 1.33 (and possibly others) Busybox isn't linked to ar so the debootstrap step below will fail - fix this by executing
ln -s /bin/busybox /usr/bin/ar
as root.
Backup the LS
If you have any important data on the LS you definitely need to make a backup.
Even if you don't, you'd better take a snapshot of the vital disk partitions (first and second partition). So you will be able to easily revert to the original stock distribution. [forum post] explains how to do it.
Prepare a Debian Lenny root filesystem
This is derived from original debootstrap docs.
From the linkstation console download the Debian debootstrap utility and install it with dpkg:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26071255/debootstrap_1.0.13%7Ejaunty1_all.deb dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.13~jaunty1_all.deb
dpkg will complain of missing dependencies. Ignore it.
mkdir debian-armel-rootfs debootstrap --verbose --arch armel lenny debian-armel-rootfs http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian
This step WILL take time. At the end you should get the following message:
I: Base system installed successfully.
Completing the debootstrap and preparing the rootfs
Most commands will be run in the chrooted environment of the newly created Debian Lenny install. In order to enter the chroot type
LANG=C chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash
to leave type exit.
Copy kernel modules from stock kernel
Kernel modules reside in /lib/modules/<kernel version>. Here we are using the stock kernel so we must copy them from the stock initrd to the new rootfs. This must be done from within a chrooted environment in the new system - won't work with stock software.
cp /boot/initrd.buffalo debian-armel-rootfs/tmp/ LANG=C chroot debian-armel-rootfs/ /bin/bash cd /tmp dd if=initrd.buffalo of=initrd.gz ibs=64 skip=1 gunzip initrd.gz mkdir INITRD mount -t ext2 -o loop initrd INITRD cp -R INITRD/lib/modules/220.127.116.11 /lib/modules/ umount INITRD rmdir INITRD rm initrd*
Adding missing devices
Still in the chrooted environment.
Mount the proc filesystem - it can be mounted a number of times - and run the command to create device nodes in /dev (TODO: investigate dynamic devices with udev?):
mount -t proc proc /proc cd /dev MAKEDEV generic umount /proc
This will also take some time while all device nodes are created.
Configuring locale
Install and configure the locales. Suggestion is to install at least the en_US.UTF-8 and your native language locale (e.g. it_IT.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, etc).
apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales
Editing /etc/fstab
Edit the static filesystem table file /etc/fstab (e.g. with nano) and make it look like this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/sda2 / xfs defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 ro,nosuid,nodev 0 2 /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda6 /home xfs defaults,noatime 0 3 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
- /dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type tmpfs (rw)
Edit /etc/network/interfaces to match your LAN configuration. My LS gets all information from DHCP:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or # /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information. # We always want the loopback interface. auto lo iface lo inet loopback
# DHCP for Ethernet connection auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp
# Example static IP setup: (broadcast and gateway are optional) # auto eth1 # iface eth1 inet static # address 192.168.0.42 # network 192.168.0.0 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # broadcast 192.168.0.255 # gateway 192.168.0.1
Choose a hostname and write it /etc/hostname (must be created).
Edit /etc/hosts as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Install SSHD
apt-get install openssh-server passwd root
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and make sure that the following line is present and uncommented:
PermitRootLogin yes
Prepare the rootfs archive
Clean up the installation, leave the chrooted environment and tar it up:
aptitude clean exit cd debian-armel-rootfs tar zcvf ../lenny-armel-rootfs.tgz *
Now you have a complete rootfs for Debian Lenny armel.
Removing the HDD
Turn the LS off and open the LS case. Will require patience and carefulness in order not to break the plastic notches. Take this page as a reference on how to open the case.
Remove the HDD from the Linkstation. Connect it to a Linux Desktop PC e.g with a SATA-to-USB adapter.
Installing the Debian rootfs
Let's say that the LS' HDD device will be /dev/sdg and the partitions will be /dev/sdg1, /dev/sdg2 etc. Change sdg to match your environment.
The following instructions will copy the lenny-rootfs.tgz file created on the LS on the local system, will FORMAT the second HDD partition and will create the Lenny rootfs there:
sudo -i mkdir /mnt/sdg1 mkdir /mnt/sdg2 mount /dev/sdg1 /mnt/sdg1 mount /dev/sdg2 /mnt/sdg2 cp /mnt/sdg2/root/lenny-rootfs.tgz . umount /mnt/sdg2 mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sdg2 mount /dev/sdg2 /mnt/sdg2 cp lenny-rootfs.tgz /mnt/sdg2/ cd /mnt/sdg2/ tar zxvf lenny-rootfs.tgz rm lenny-rootfs.tgz
Installing an empty initrd
Must make an empty initrd in LS' boot partition. Otherwise the stock initrd will start and runs scripts to check for a stock setup. Indeed an initrd is not needed in this Lenny installation as everything can be found on the root filesystem.
"empty initrd" means an initrd with no filesystem. It is not an empty file.
For this you need the mkimage command. (in Debian/Ubuntu just install the package uboot-mkimage).
mkdir x ; cd x find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc > ../x2 cd .. mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -d x2 initrd.buffalo rmdir x ; rm -f x2 mv /mnt/sdg1/initrd.buffalo /mnt/sdg1/initrd.original cp initrd.buffalo /mnt/sdg1/
Unmount all partitions:
cd / umount /mnt/sdg*
Turn the HDD off and put it back into the LS.
Post-installation setup
Configuring timezone
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Useful packages
Anyone would need these:
apt-get install sudo less usbutils bzip2 mc linuxlogo psmisc
Ntpd ensures that your Linkstation clock stays in sync with global time servers.
apt-get install ntp
As told above, blstools are a set of utilities which enable LS-CHL/XHL hardware-specific features otherwise unavailable from a plain Debian Lenny installation.
In order to install blstools you have to download the package from the blstools project page, put it on the LS and run, from the command line:
tar zxf blstools-0.1.0.tar.gz cd blstools-0.1.0 sudo ./install.sh sudo reboot
The following features are installed:
lsmonitor (/etc/init.d/lsmonitor)
This is a daemon that is automatically started when the system boots. You don't need to call it directly.
lsmonitor stops the blue led from flashing and provides a reassuring, still blue light. Also, when you move the switch in "off" position lsmonitor initiates system shutdown (which is nice isn't it?)
usb (/etc/init.d/usb)
Powers on and off the USB interface.
When you want to connect a USB disk to the Linkstation you should first call:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb start
and then you will be able to mount the USB drive to the desired location (generally, the device will be /dev/sdb1). Once done, in order to save power you can unmount the mounted volume and issue:
sudo /etc/init.d/usb stop
to disable the USB device.

And let me tell you, as non-Italian, the trail would not have been easy to follow without his help. Get the inside scoop on Rossi's lid after the jump.

Order of Operations
Lesson 11 of 16
Objective: SWBAT: • Use OOO to simplify numerical expressions
Big Idea: Students apply their knowledge of the order of operations to simplify numerical expressions for a second day.
Do Now
See my Do Now in my Strategy folder that explains my beginning of class routines.
Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. Here, students will use their number and logic skills to figure out the answers. I ask students to share their answers to problem 1. Then I write 4 x 3 + 116 / 7 on the board and ask, "Does this expression represent what you did?" I want students to realize that all of the numbers and operations are correct, but if you simplify it you get 14, instead of 4. I ask, "What do I need to do so that my expression matches what we did?" I want students to recognize that they need to add in parentheses so that their answer matches the expression. In connecting the steps with an expression, students are working on MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Students may struggle with problem 2, since they must work backwards. I call up 1-2 students to show and explain their work. If I have time, I will write 2 ( ___ + 5 ) = 22 on the board and ask, "Does this represent what we need to figure out? Why or why not?" I want students to see that we double something and got 22. Since 2 x 11 = 22, then the expression inside the parentheses must result in 11, and 6 + 5 gets us 11.

Analyzing Student Work
I tell students that they will Think Write Pair Share with the questions on the page. I read the prompt and have students work for 3-5 minutes independently. I walk around and monitor student progress and ensure that students are writing an explanation for each question.
Once most students have completed both questions we come back together. Students share with their partner for 1-2 minutes. Students are engaging in MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Then we open it to a class discussion. I ask for students to raise their hands to show who they believe is correct. If many students choose Julia as the correct answer, I declare that I think Jon is correct and then I explain my thinking. He correctly simplified the base and exponent. Then multiplication comes before division, so he multiplied 8 x 3 and got 24. Last, he needed to simplify 48 divided by 24. This is a common mistake that many students do.
My hope is that students hands shoot up and they want to argue with me! I call on a few students to share their thinking and specifically identify where Jon went wrong. I want students to articulate that in the order of operations you complete multiplication and division from left to right. That means, depending on the problem, we may multiply first or divide first.

Resources (2)
I have students work on the Order of Operations Review independently. Posting A Key helps me manage checking students work in a timely manner. I have scaffolded these problems so that each problem is more complicated than the previous problem. This way I can see where a student's understanding breaks down as I walk around and monitor student work. For students who successfully complete the Review problems, they go on to work on the Riddle and the Challenge work.
For students who are struggling with the Review, there are a few ways I may intervene:
- Pull a small group to the back of the class to work on Review problems together. Once students are more comfortable, they return to their seats to work independently.
- I have them work with their partners together and I regularly check in with them.
- If there are enough students struggling, I'll pass out whiteboards and markers. I have students show the step-by-step work on the first few practice problems.
- Give students a multiplication chart or calculator to help them access the problems.
For students who successfully complete the classwork, there are a few choices I give them:
- Serve as a tutor to a student I have identified who needs extra help
- Pair up with another student and take turns creating and evaluating numerical expressions using the order of operations
- Playing "Show me the Money!" from Show what you know Factors and Multiples + Introduction to Exponents (students can use the 1-10 spinner for added difficulty).
Then I ask these questions:
- What would happen if we did not agree and we approached evaluating expressions in our own ways?
- What problems might arise?
I am looking for students to recognize that the order of operations is a set of rules that have been decided upon by mathematicians. Without these rules, different people would solve the same problems and get vastly different answers. I am interested to hear what problems students imagine would occur without agreement on the order of operations.
Resources (3)
Closure and Ticket to Go
For Closure I have students turn to problem 6 in the Review. What do we do first? I have students share out what to do and why. How do we know whether to add or subtract first? I want students to be able to articulate what to do and why.
With the last few minutes of class I give a Ticket to Go for students to independently complete. I pass out the HW Order of Operations at the end of class.

Kcal 88 Fat 4.8g Fat(sats) 3.0g Carbs 9.0g (per mascot)
We are going to start off this week with a short chocolate review and a mini rant :D As you may have gathered from both the title and the photos, the focus of today's post is on these new Cadbury Mascots chocolates. Cadbury are one of London's official partners for the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games, so suffice to say I think we can all expect a barrage of these sort of products heading our way between now and next year. So far we have had to endure the rather tiresome Spots vs Stripes campaign, which in my opinion has failed to stimulate any great excitement despite significant investment (See HERE). Hoping to do a little better, these Cadbury Mascots are the first official Olympic offering from Cadbury - lets see what I made of them.
These 'aerated milk chocolate Mascots' come in packs of two that weigh around 32.0g each. Fundamentally the whole product concept is just the Cadbury Wishes remoulded and repackaged with an Olympic theme obviously applied. In regards to the quality of the presentation and packaging, everything was the usual Cadbury high standard with the matted foil wrapper well designed and decorated with it's kiddie friendly Mascot pictures. Speaking of the Mascots themselves they were well sized and the detail of each mould was impressive and attractive.
To get to what I'm sure you guys are well aware with haste I can confirm that the bubbly Cadbury Milk chocolate was exactly as expected with it quickly creating a sound chocolatey taste that was firmly rooted in sweet sugar, milk and cocoa. The bubbly texture at the centre of each mascot of course added interest in terms of mouth feel, however the Dairy Milk thickness wasn't quite there as one would expect given the usage of their secondary recipe. All-in-all I guess I would say these were just really middle of the road Cadbury offering - nothing to get overly excite about, neither nothing to turn your nose up at either. If you like Cadbury chocolate then you will like these - simple as!
7.6 out of 10
.... but hold it there!!! I've got a bone to pick ...
Funnily enough it's not with Cadbury! No, it's with the idiots who designed our friends here Wenlock and Mandeville. I mean come on! Who in their right mind sanctioned these characters as the official mascots!? The names are confusing and they look like ... well I best not say. I just cannot believe for one minute that these 'things' are going to be the face of our Olympic Games. The idea is to choose something the kids will love - take a look at this link HERE and tell me that not every single one of those mascots are a hundred times more adorable and loveable than Wenlock & Mandeville. Apologies for the rant, but it kills me that someone will have been paid a ridiculous amount of money to come up with these. If you want to really start me off then get me talking about the 2012 Olympic Logo :D Any opinions from you ChocolateMission readers?
